在NBA历史的前25届最有价值球员（MVP）评选中，决定胜者的是联盟球员，而非媒体。

这一切在1980-81赛季发生了改变，当时“由69名作家和广播员组成的评审团”选出了朱利叶斯·欧文 (Julius Erving) 为MVP，并确立了一套沿用至今的评选体系。

但现在是时候再次把麦克风交给球员，去致敬那些在过去六个月里，在赛场上磨砺出的真知灼见。

因此，我们现在发布 The Athletic 2026年NBA球员匿名投票的第一部分结果，并将本篇报道专门献给竞争异常激烈的2025-26赛季MVP大讨论。

从2月下旬到4月初，我们的记者走遍北美，向联盟球员提出了各种问题，涵盖了个人奖项、球员流动以及联盟事务。我们的记者共调查了161名球员，创下了这项年度专题的历史新高，这一人数约占联盟总人数的三分之一。

一如既往，我们给予球员匿名权，让他们能够自由、诚实地回答，而不必担心遭到对手、队友或球迷的报复。为了透明度和背景参考，我们会说明每个话题的回复人数。其余结果将在下个月陆续公布，确保每个话题都能得到应有的关注。

这次MVP讨论的时机是经过深思熟虑的，因为再过几天，由100名定期报道联盟的作家和广播员组成的评审团，将在常规赛结束后投出他们的正式选票。

就把这看作是曾经主导这一进程的球员们，在最后时刻送出的一次助攻吧。

当圣安东尼奥马刺队的维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 在3月下旬引发了一场激烈的MVP讨论时，他以一种直接且详尽的方式为自己辩护，迫使投票者和博彩商重新评估局势。当时人们不禁好奇，这是否足以将俄克拉荷马城雷霆队的谢伊·吉尔杰斯-亚历山大 (Shai Gilgeous-Alexander) 从领跑者的位置上拉下来。

或者……也许并不能。

如果球员的投票能说明什么的话——通常确实如此——那么这位球风丝滑的雷霆球星正迈向他的第二座迈克尔·乔丹奖杯。他不仅在我们的球员投票中名列榜首，其支持率几乎是第二名丹佛掘金队尼古拉·约基奇 (Nikola Jokić) 的两倍。

而这正是讽刺之处。

虽然文班亚马选择为自己造势似乎在博彩商那里起到了作用（他目前仅次于SGA位列第二），但在球员投票中，他甚至没能挤进前五。但这与其说是对这位马刺天才球员候选资格的否定，倒不如说是对本届候选人整体实力的证明。这群球员实在是太优秀了。而在大多数人眼中，吉尔杰斯-亚历山大依然是其中最出色的那一个。

27岁的吉尔杰斯-亚历山大场均得分位列联盟第二（31.1分），其投篮命中率（55.3%）令联盟得分王（同为MVP候选人的洛杉矶湖人球星卢卡·东契奇 (Luka Dončić)，场均33.5分，命中率47.6%）相形见绌。尽管人们常关注他极具争议的造犯规上罚球线的能力，但这仅仅是吉尔杰斯-亚历山大摧毁防线的众多手段之一。

他在中距离、远投以及持续冲击篮筐方面都是顶级杀手，而这种冲击往往能为全场拉开空间。他的脚步——那令人眼花缭乱、充满动感的脚步——已经达到了迈克尔·乔丹和科比·布莱恩特的水平。

“谢伊的表现一直极其稳定，”一位支持者说，“他们经历了伤病，但他始终保持稳定。我们对此习以为常，（但）他每晚至少能得20分。他的很多队友都受伤了，但他们仍然是西部第一。”

顺便提一下，他连续得分20+的历史纪录目前已经达到了惊人的140场（他在3月12日超越了威尔特·张伯伦 (Wilt Chamberlain) 保持的纪录）。本赛季，吉尔杰斯-亚历山大还为雷霆队场均贡献6.6次助攻、4.3个篮板和1.4次抢断，带领球队打出了联盟第七的进攻、第一的防守以及全联盟最佳战绩（64胜16负）。

一路上有许多令人印象深刻的时刻。但他与约基奇在3月9日的正面交锋，或许是最令人难忘的，当时两人都发挥到了极致。就在SGA追平张伯伦连续20+场次纪录的那天晚上，他砍下35分、15次助攻、9个篮板且零失误，并在最后14秒内命中两记三分球，锁定了129-126的胜局。

“他是最佳球队中的最佳球员，”另一位球员说，“你还能要求什么呢？”

正如第一位球员所指出的，正是SGA那令人难以置信的稳定性——加上高效的表现——使他成为了当今篮坛最不可阻挡的外线球员。如果他真的连续第二次获得MVP，SGA将成为自约基奇（2021年和2022年）以来首位蝉联该奖项的球员，也是NBA历史上第14位蝉联MVP的球员。

不过，还有一个尚未被充分讨论、却能进一步增强他竞争力的因素：吉尔杰斯-亚历山大是在大半个赛季缺少头号副手杰伦·威廉姆斯 (Jalen Williams) 的情况下完成这一切的。这位前全明星球员在雷霆上赛季的夺冠征程中至关重要，但本赛季因腕部和腿筋伤势缺席了47场比赛。

考虑到吉尔杰斯-亚历山大在这场大牌云集的MVP竞赛中所面对的对手，他能被这些球员广泛视为当之无愧的赢家，这绝非小事。在丹佛，尽管伤兵满营的掘金队（52胜28负）经历了阿隆·戈登 (Aaron Gordon)、佩顿·沃特森 (Peyton Watson) 等人的长期缺阵，31岁的约基奇场均依然能贡献27.8分、12.9个篮板和10.9次助攻——这样的数据在联盟历史上此前仅出现过两次（一次是1961-62赛季的奥斯卡·罗伯特森 (Oscar Robertson)，另一次是上赛季的约基奇）。更重要的是，约基奇有望成为自1968年的张伯伦以来，联盟历史上第二位在同一赛季领跑助攻榜和篮板榜的球员。

“我一直很难不选约基奇，”一位球员说，“他可能是这个星球上最好的球员。他太现象级了。”

在波士顿——朱·霍勒迪 (Jrue Holiday) 去年夏天被交易到波特兰，克里斯塔普斯·波尔津吉斯 (Kristaps Porziņģis) 被送往亚特兰大，而杰森·塔图姆 (Jayson Tatum) 因跟腱断裂康复缺席了本赛季大部分比赛——杰伦·布朗 (Jaylen Brown)（场均28.8分、7.0个篮板、5.2次助攻和1.0次抢断）一举证明了他完全配得上“1A”级别的球星地位，并奇迹般地让凯尔特人队保留在争冠行列中。

“考虑到球队去年失去的球员，在预期如此低的情况下看到现在的排名，这都是因为他以及他所达到的竞技水平，”一位球员说，“他在攻防两端都保持着极高水准。他每晚的表现都很稳定。”

在底特律，尽管凯德·坎宁安 (Cade Cunningham) 因肺部塌陷伤势可能因联盟的“65场规定”而失去正式评选资格，但这位活塞队的年轻球星（场均24.4分、9.9次助攻、5.6个篮板、1.5次抢断和0.9次盖帽）的表现已正式让他步入精英行列。

在洛杉矶，湖人队的赛季近期因东契奇（腿筋）和奥斯汀·里夫斯 (Austin Reaves)（斜方肌）的伤病而受挫，但球队在下半程的崛起很大程度上归功于东契奇的卓越表现。他场均贡献33.5分、8.3次助攻和7.7个篮板——这样的数据在联盟历史上此前仅出现过一次，即他在2023-24赛季效力独行侠时创造的。根据 Stathead.com 的数据，历史上只有四名球员（东契奇、罗伯特森、乔丹和拉塞尔·威斯布鲁克 (Russell Westbrook)）曾达到过场均30分、8次助攻和7个篮板的门槛。

“我觉得他在那样的阵容配置下所做的一切真的很不可思议，”一位球员在谈到东契奇时说，“队里很多人进进出出，里夫斯和勒布朗·詹姆斯 (LeBron James)（他现在真的老了）都有伤，还有像德安德烈·艾顿 (Deandre Ayton) 这样你永远不知道他表现好坏的球员，我认为东契奇完成了一项了不起的工作。”

即便如此，他的表现或许还是不如SGA令人印象深刻。在赢得上赛季MVP、2025年总冠军并领跑整个常规赛之后，SGA已经非常习惯于处于领先地位。

Anonymous NBA player poll 2026: Who is this season’s MVP? SGA, Jokić or Dončić?

For the first 25 Most Valuable Player awards in NBA history, it was the league’s players, not the media, who determined the winner.

All that changed with the 1980-81 season, when “a panel of 69 writers and broadcasters” selected Julius Erving as MVP and a system was installed that has been in place ever since.

But it’s time, again, to give the players the microphone and honor all those well-informed views that were shaped on the hardwood over the past six months.

So now, we’re releasing the first set of results from The Athletic’s 2026 Anonymous NBA Player Poll, and we’re devoting this piece to the closely contested 2025-26 MVP debate.

From late February through the start of April, our writers fanned out across North America and asked the league’s players a wide array of questions, ranging from individual awards to player movement to league issues. Our writers surveyed 161 players, a record high for this annual project and a number that amounts to approximately one-third of the league’s workforce.

As always, we granted the players anonymity to give them the freedom to answer honestly, without fear of reprisals from opponents, teammates or fans. For the sake of transparency and context, we’ll tell you how many people responded to each topic. The rest of the results will be rolled out over the next month, giving each topic the full attention it deserves.

The timing of this MVP discussion is intentional, as we’re just days away from a panel of 100 writers and broadcasters who regularly cover the league casting their official ballots after the regular season ends.

Consider this an 11th-hour assist from the players who once led this process.

When San Antonio’s Victor Wembanyama sparked a robust MVP debate in late March, advocating for himself in the kind of direct and detailed way that forced voters and oddsmakers alike to reassess the situation, it was fair to wonder if it might be enough to bump Oklahoma City’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander from his frontrunner spot.

Or … perhaps not.

If the players’ votes are any indication — and they usually are — then the silky smooth Thunder star is on his way to a second straight Michael Jordan Trophy. He didn’t just top our player polling; he nearly doubled the support of the second-place finisher, Denver’s Nikola Jokić.

And therein lies the irony of it all.

While Wembanyama’s choice to spotlight himself appeared to help his cause with the oddsmakers (he’s currently second behind SGA), he didn’t even crack the top five in the players’ vote. But that, as much as anything, is a testament to the strength of the field rather than an indictment of the Spurs phenom’s candidacy. This group is just that great. And Gilgeous-Alexander, in the eyes of most, is the best of them all. Again.

The 27-year-old Gilgeous-Alexander is second in the league in scoring (31.1 points per game), with a field-goal percentage (55.3) that dwarfs that of the league’s leading scorer (fellow MVP candidate/Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Dončić, who is averaging 33.5 points per game on 47.6 shooting). And for all the focus on his controversial ability to get to the line, it’s merely one of the many ways that Gilgeous-Alexander decimates defenses.

He’s a killer from the midrange, from long range and with those constant attacks at the rim that tend to free up the entire floor. And the footwork — that dazzling, dynamic footwork — is on the level of Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant.

“Shai has been super consistent,” one supporter said. “They’ve had injuries, and he’s stayed consistent. We take it for granted, (but) he scores at least 20 every night. He’s had a lot of his guys injured, and they’re still No. 1 in the West.”

That historic streak of consecutive games with 20-plus points, by the way, now stands at an absurd 140 (he passed Wilt Chamberlain for the mark on March 12). Gilgeous-Alexander is also averaging 6.6 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 1.4 steals this season for the Thunder, who boast the league’s seventh-ranked offense, the top defense and the league’s best record (64-16).

There were many, many impressive moments along the way. But his back-and-forth battle with Jokić on March 9, when the pair were at their best, might have been the most memorable. On the same night SGA matched Chamberlain’s mark of 20-plus point games, he had 35 points, 15 assists, nine rebounds and no turnovers while burying two 3s in the final 14 seconds to seal the 129-126 win.

“He’s the best player on the best team,” another player said. “What more do you have to say?”

As the first player noted, it’s SGA’s incredible consistency — in addition to the efficiency — that has made him the most unstoppable perimeter player in the game today. If he does win a second consecutive MVP, SGA would become the first to do so since Jokić winning in 2021 and 2022, and the 14th player in NBA history to win the award consecutively.

Still, the part that hasn’t been discussed nearly enough, and which strengthens his case even more in this race, is that Gilgeous-Alexander did all of this while playing without his primary wingman, Jalen Williams, for more than half the season. The former All-Star, who was so integral in their title run last season, has missed 47 games because of wrist and hamstring injuries.

Yet considering the company Gilgeous-Alexander is keeping in this loaded MVP race, the fact that he is so widely seen as the deserving winner by these players is no small statement. In the Mile High City, where the injury-riddled Nuggets (52-28) have dealt with the extended absences of Aaron Gordon, Peyton Watson and others, the 31-year-old Jokić is averaging 27.8 points, 12.9 rebounds and 10.9 assists — marks that have only been reached twice before in league history (once by Oscar Robertson in 1961-62, and by Jokić last season). What’s more, Jokić is on track to become the first player since Chamberlain in 1968, and just the second player in league history, to lead the league in assists and rebounds in the same season.

“I’ve always had a hard time not picking Jokić,” one player said. “He’s probably the best player on the planet. He’s phenomenal.”

In Boston — where Jrue Holiday was traded to Portland last summer, Kristaps Porziņģis was sent to Atlanta and Jayson Tatum missed most of this season while recovering from his Achilles tendon tear — Jaylen Brown (28.8 points, 7.0 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.0 steals per game) proved once and for all that he is worthy of ‘1A’ status while somehow keeping the Celtics in the contender ranks.

“In terms of what the team lost last year, to come in with the (low) expectations there were and to see the standings now, it’s because of him and the level of play he’s been at," one player said. "He does it on both ends at a super high level. He’s consistent every night.”

In Detroit, where Cade Cunningham’s collapsed lung injury likely took him out of official contention because of the league’s 65-game rule, the young Pistons star (24.4 points, 9.9 assists, 5.6 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 0.9 blocks) showed out in a way that officially elevated him among the elites.

In Los Angeles, where the Lakers’ season was recently derailed by injuries to Dončić (hamstring) and Austin Reaves (oblique), the team surged in the second half largely because of Luka’s brilliance. He’s averaging 33.5 points, 8.3 assists and 7.7 rebounds — marks that have only been reached once before in league history, when he did it in Dallas in the 2023-24 season. Per Stathead.com, only four players (Dončić, Robertson, Jordan and Russell Westbrook) have ever reached the 30-point, eight-assist and seven-rebound marks.

“I think what he’s done with the team that they have is really ridiculous,” one player said of Dončić. “With a lot of guys in and out, with Austin Reaves and LeBron (James), who’s really old now, and guys like Deandre Ayton, who you never know if he’s going to play good or bad, I think he’s doing an incredible job.”

Even if it’s not quite as impressive as SGA, who — after winning last season’s MVP, the 2025 championship and setting the pace for the entirety of this regular season — is growing quite accustomed to being out in front.
